WRUP: Hackers!

The past few weeks have seen story after story about breach after breach in the gaming world, with BioWare's Neverwinter Nights servers being the latest to get hit. Rather than getting all up in a tizzy about it, we simply made sure all of our passwords were unique -- yours are, aren't they? -- and rented a copy of our favorite Matthew Lillard thriller, Hackers.

Sure, we'll be playing some games this weekend (which you can see after the break), but we've got at least one very solid appointment with the information superhighway, circa 1995. It looks kind of like an awesome video game when you're hacking, didn't you know? Perfect!

David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'm into Mortal Kombat in a big way right now, so I'm working on finishing the Ladder with everyone and knocking out some more of that huge Challenge Tower. On top of that, I'm nearing the end of Duke Nukem Forever.

Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): All I'm playing forever is apparently Tiny Tower. Have you seen it? It's a littler skyscraper that lives in your iPhone and you can restock the stores in it and you make coins and it's free and ... I hate myself.

Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): When I'm not dying again and again and again (and again!) in 1-bit Ninja on my iPhone, I'll be solving the deaths of others again and again and again (and again!) in LA Noire.

Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) On vacation this weekend so I'll probably start on the first Witcher book. That's almost a game, right?
